The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 780

As a result, everyone in the East and West Palaces had their own ideas.

Take Li Tai as an example, wasn't it because he didn't establish a crown prince?

Therefore, all the princes had their own ideas.

Li Er was not unaware of this matter.

So he always felt very annoyed.

It's hard to tell which prince is the most suitable.

Xu Tian looked at Li Er, whose brows were tightly furrowed.

"There has always been a distinction between elders and juniors, with the saying being that the eldest should be honored over the youngest."

"However, I believe that we can innovate and bring forth new ideas. Someone has to try everything, even if it's the first time."

After hearing Xu Tian's words, Li Er asked, "Do you think the eldest prince is unsuitable?"

His chances of becoming the third prince are completely slim.

There are still more than a dozen princes in the royal family.

If he had to choose, he would really be in a dilemma.

That's why he brought Xu Tian here. He decided to establish a crown prince as soon as possible to stabilize the matter.

Only in this way can the ministers feel at ease.

After another round of negotiations, Xu Tian revealed his true feelings.

"The Ninth Prince has always been diligent and conscientious in my academy. Moreover, he has a gentle personality and is often considerate of others."

"He also possesses the so-called wisdom that appears as foolishness."

When Li Zhi was mentioned, Xu Tian's face lit up with a long-lost smile.

It's clear that he really likes this disciple of his.

Li Er appeared surprised upon hearing Xu Tian's words.

He never expected that Xu Tian would choose Li Zhi.

Li Zhi's personality was indeed gentle.

However, to become the ruler of a country, one cannot only be gentle and mild-mannered.

However, Xu Tian's words were overheard by the eunuch beside Li Er.

His expression appeared somewhat solemn.

"Do you think Li Zhi is capable of shouldering this important task?" Li Er asked Xu Tian.

Xu Tian could not give a definite answer as to whether Li Zhi was capable of undertaking this important task.

However, everything is preordained.

Even if someone does try to stop it, it won't change anything.

The eunuchs around Li Er quickly informed the Fifth Prince outside.

When Li You found out about this, he was furious.

"Xu Tian!"

He crushed the note that had been lying in his house that day.

He uttered the name Xu Tian fiercely, through gritted teeth.

Now, Xu Tian has become Li Er's right-hand man.

Even for matters like this, Li Er would consult with Xu Tian.

Li You did not try to curry favor with Xu Tian.

However, this person is completely unyielding.

There was simply no way to win him over.

Having heard what the eunuch said, Li You believed that since he couldn't bribe Xu Tian for the sake of the throne, he could only let this troublesome person die as soon as possible.

"I never expected that Xu Tian would recommend that Ninth Prince. What merit does the Ninth Prince have? How could he possibly surpass all the princes before him?"

"The Fifth Prince is virtuous and talented. He is proficient in both literature and martial arts. Xu Tian did not recommend the Fifth Prince. It seems that he already has someone in mind. Otherwise, why would he push Li Zhi forward at such a time?"

The scholars around Li You added fuel to the fire with their words.

Li You slammed his hand on the table, causing the entire tabletop to fall to the ground.

pat!

With a sharp crack, all the cups were smashed to pieces.

Li You frowned slightly, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

No, we absolutely cannot sit still and wait for death.

Li Zhi at this moment has absolutely no power.

No one would want to pledge allegiance to a prince who is powerless.
